Chapter 134: Fate and Life
Half-kneeling on the ground, Busei kept pouring medicine into the wolf's mouth, but looking at the wolf still lying lifeless on the ground, Busei didn't know what to do for a moment, and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Hey... why are you in such a hurry to die... if you die, how can I explain to the Butterfly Sisters, how can I explain to Uzui and Tomioka and the others..."
Behind him, Tianyin, who had just taken the old man away, was rushing over here after the strange cough disappeared. She thought she had defeated Shura and had a happy smile on her face.
But after seeing the appearance of the wolf and the pale faces of Busui River and others, his pace gradually slowed down, his eyes instantly turned red, and he covered his mouth with his hands, looking at the scene in disbelief.
"how so…"
And at this moment, in the wolf's gradually scattered consciousness, scenes from the past were playing one after another. No matter whether it was the time in Ashina or the scenes after coming to this world, they were all played together in front of the wolf's eyes like a movie.
While watching, the wolf found that since he came to this world, he seemed to have more smiles on his face, talked a lot more than before, and had many... friends...
So even though there are evil spirits in this world, wolves love this place even more.
only…
I have always heard that people review their lives in their minds before they die, and now Wolf believes this rumor...
This time... I'm really going to die...
Just at this moment, Busei's cry reached the wolf's ears. The wolf, who was immersing his gradually dissipating consciousness in his mind and was about to disappear together, was slightly stunned.
Will Butterfly and the others... as well as Uzui and Tomioka... be sad because of my death...
A faint white light appeared in the dim mind at this moment, and Tianyin's voice with a crying tone sounded.
"Mr. Hirata... please hold on... You haven't seen Minako return to her former self yet... You can't die..."
Hearing this, a white light exploded in the wolf's mind, and the white light stabilized his consciousness and made it no longer scattered, but the wolf did not care at the moment.
Under the gaze of Busei and others, a white light lit up on the wolf's chest. It was the [Butterfly of Fate] that the wolf had placed in his arms before, but was still intact in the battle with Shura.
As the eyes of the wolf in the consciousness gradually glowed, the light emitted by [Butterfly of Fate] also became brighter and brighter.
...I want to...see Minako's smile again...
hum~
The desire to live overwhelmed the wolf's desire to die at this moment. With a buzzing sound, the butterfly-shaped hair accessory on the chest burst out with an intense white light, wrapping the wolf's cold body.
The previous injuries on the body were healed at this moment as phantom butterflies flew out one after another, surrounding the wolf tightly like a storm, and then they rose up in groups, passed through the crowd, flew to the horizon, and turned into white light and dissipated.
As the last butterfly flew by, everyone put down their hands that were protecting their eyes and looked at the person lying on the ground. Although his face was still pale, the wounds on his body that were surrounded by black aura had all disappeared.
Just when they were extremely nervous, the wolf's body suddenly flipped up, gasping for breath, looking at its only remaining life bar.
He reached out to touch the hairpin in his arms, recalled the detailed introduction of this item before, and lowered his head in thought.
…I see…If fate continues, life will never end…
At this moment, drops of hot tears kept falling in front of the wolf. He slowly raised his head and looked at the people in front of him whose tears kept falling from their eyes. The wolf didn't know what to do for a moment...
The awkward look of his stiff hands and feet and his mouth opening and closing made everyone laugh.
Seeing this, the wolf was no longer at a loss. His expression softened and he also showed a faint smile. His smile was so normal that Busei was surprised.
Soon, several children expressed their curiosity about the butterflies flying out of the wolf, but the wolf naturally would not tell them the truth.
Just as they were pondering this, the wolf felt weak and nearly fell down. After all, the vitality in his body was as fragile as a candle in the wind, so the wolf was not surprised.
He asked Busikawa for the gourd of medicine, but found that Busikawa had already poured all the medicine into his own mouth. In desperation, Wolf took out a pill from his arms and put it in his mouth, slowly recovering his life.
With a thought, the light curtain opened, and three large characters [Immortal Slash] appeared in front of the wolf. When the characters faded, the reward for killing Shura appeared.
[Spark of Shura]
[Use the medium to crush the fire, and Shura's power to take all life will be added to you.
If you have someone in mind, you will not be disturbed by it.
Why kill, for whom?
In the process of constantly taking lives, the nameless ninja had long forgotten this question...】
Through the detailed introduction, Wolf roughly understood the function of this thing, which was probably to allow himself to enter the Shura state without any side effects.
After understanding it, the wolf looked at the next one, but found that there was only one reward.
But Wolf was not angry, as he had already received the biggest reward for killing Shura.
After Shura absorbed all of his karma and the Shura Fire in his heart, Wolf used the Immortal Slash to kill him, and the karma and Shura Fire dissipated into the world.
In other words, the karma that Minako was constantly devoured by in order to protect the wolf from being eroded by the Shura Fire should have returned to Minako at this moment.
This... was also the last step in their original plan. They thought they would first find a way to cure the Shura Fire in their dreams, and then find a way to solve it, but they didn't expect the process to be like this.
But... as long as Minako recovers... that's enough...
At this moment, the originally gloomy sky was now covered with dark clouds. Violent thunder and lightning rolled in the dark clouds like a giant dragon. Bean-sized raindrops began to fall from the sky continuously, and soon turned into a downpour, completely extinguishing the ashes on the ground that were still flickering with sparks.
Seeing this, everyone stopped discussing the butterfly and turned around to threaten Wolf that if he didn't tell them what happened, they would leave him here in the rain. However, they were quickly scolded by Tianyin who was standing beside them with a frown.
As the rain washed away the [Bai Lei] that was buried in the ashes, it slipped from the wolf's hand, and its scarlet blade emerged. After hesitating for a moment, the wolf picked it up.
At this moment, the wolf suddenly remembered Shura who was holding [Open Door] tightly in the distance. He looked towards him, only to find that the other party's body had turned into large white light spots and dissipated.
After the light disappeared, a dark figure was standing there silently!
boom!
A flash of lightning fell from the sky behind the opponent, illuminating his dark face. Six ferocious eyes were now fixed on the slender black sword lying quietly on the ground.
Next to the large sword, a ball of crystal clear blood was releasing a pink divine light that rejected all worldly filth. It was spotless and exuded a unique fragrance.
Staring at the pool of blood, the wolf's mind went blank. He didn't dare to guess who the owner of the blood was, but the last scene he saw in Shura's memory still told him the answer.
He wanted to take a step forward, but the severe pain all over his body made him weak. His face became ferocious again, which attracted the attention of Busokawa beside him.
"what happened?"
Seeing this, the wolf had no choice but to grit his teeth and take a step forward to get used to the pain. At the same time, he endured the pain and swung out his arm, pointing at the dark figure.
It had never been so louder, the wolf shouted as he gritted his teeth and locked eyes with the six eyes.
"Stop him!"
